However, there is a lack of experimental evidence to determine whether this interpretation is allowed in equivalent sentences in Japanese and Chinese. To address this issue, this study conducted a sentence–picture matching truth value judgment experiment in both Japanese and Chinese. The data suggested that Japanese Quantifier-Negation sentences do allow inverse scope readings, which suggests that the subject may be interpreted within the scope of negation. In contrast, Chinese Quantifier-Negation sentences prohibit inverse scope readings, which is in accordance with the strong scope rigidity consistently observed in this language. This paper also discussed how to develop a valid experiment for investigating scope ambiguities.}, Doi = {10.3390/languages9030111}, Key = {fds376822} } @article{fds376275, Author = {Chen, Y}, Title = {An experimental approach to the reconstruction of the head quantifier phrase in Chinese relative clauses}, Journal = {Canadian Journal of Linguistics}, Year = {2024}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/cnj.2024.6}, Abstract = {Aoun and Li (2003) argued that whether the head of Chinese relative clauses can reconstruct at Logical Form is determined by its phrasal category. When the head is a noun phrase, it can reconstruct; but when it is a quantifier phrase, it cannot. This paper uses a sentence-picture matching experiment to investigate this claim. The results showed that a quantifier phrase can reconstruct. Thus, we do not need to stipulate a noun phrase/quantifier phrase distinction for the reconstruction of heads in Chinese relative clauses. Both types of phrases can reconstruct, predicted by the head-raising analysis of relative clauses.}, Doi = {10.1017/cnj.2024.6}, Key = {fds376275} } @article{fds370397, Author = {Chen, Y and Huan, T}, Title = {Scope assignment in Quantifier-Negation sentences in Tibetan as a heritage language in China}, Journal = {Second Language Research}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/02676583231161164}, Abstract = {Quantifier-Negation sentences allow an inverse scope reading in Tibetan but not in Chinese. This difference can be attributed to the underlying syntactic difference: the negation word can be raised at Logical Form in Tibetan but not in Chinese. This study investigated whether Chinese-dominant Tibetan heritage speakers know such difference. We conducted a sentence–picture matching truth value judgment task with 28 Chinese-dominant Tibetan heritage speakers, 25 baseline Tibetan speakers and 31 baseline Chinese speakers. Our baseline data first confirmed the difference between Tibetan and Chinese: the inverse scope reading is allowed in Tibetan but prohibited in Chinese. Our heritage participants’ data showed a divergence: one group of heritage speakers allow the inverse scope reading in both Tibetan and Chinese while another group prohibit it in both languages. There is a third group of heritage speakers who are aware of the difference between Tibetan and Chinese. Our findings suggest that while it is possible for heritage speakers to attain nativelike knowledge of an interface phenomenon that differs in their two languages, they may also be subject to crosslinguistic influence and adopt one of two opposite strategies. Both strategies can minimize syntactic differences between their two grammars so an economy of syntactic representations in their repository of grammars can be achieved.}, Doi = {10.1177/02676583231161164}, Key = {fds370397} } %% Ching, Leo @article{fds372240, Author = {Ching, LTS and Lim, H}, Title = {Voices from Cheju (Jeju): Towards an Archipelagic Imagination}, Journal = {Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus}, Volume = {21}, Number = {7}, Year = {2023}, Month = {July}, Abstract = {The essay profiles five artists and activists from Cheju Island and narrates their work and commitment to keeping the legacies of the vi cti ms of the i nfamous Chej u 4. 3 Inci dent al i ve i n publ i c di scourse.

This is a new moment because East Asia, unlike Europe, has never had two co-existing superpowers. The prospect of a new imperial competition is complicated by the still-present American military power and the non-statist arena, especially in popular culture, where the imperial games are played out. Using two popular anti-Japan videogames, Glorious Mission Online (2013) and The Invisible Guardian (2019) as case studies, I argue these games are symptomatic of the relations between warfare and game in general. I then outline the trend in game development that subverts conventional wargames. Finally, I speculate on alternative game design over the disputed territories in the Southern China Sea that prioritizes ecology over human conflict and development.}, Doi = {10.1080/14649373.2023.2242147}, Key = {fds373583} } @article{fds373584, Author = {Ching, LTS and Shim, D and Yang, FC}, Title = {Editorial introduction: East Asian pop culture in the era of China’s rise}, Journal = {Inter-Asia Cultural Studies}, Volume = {24}, Number = {5}, Pages = {737-743}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14649373.2023.2242139}, Doi = {10.1080/14649373.2023.2242139}, Key = {fds373584} } %% Ginsburg, Shai @article{fds375351, Author = {Ginsburg, S}, Title = {IMAGE, WORD, LAND}, Journal = {Hebrew Studies}, Volume = {64}, Pages = {255-268}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/hbr.2023.a912661}, Doi = {10.1353/hbr.2023.a912661}, Key = {fds375351} } %% Göknar, Erdag @article{fds167075, Title = {"The Turkish Novel: Modernity, Modernism, and Postmodernism"}, Booktitle = {Blackwell Encyclopedia of the Novel}, Year = {20010}, Month = {Fall}, Key = {fds167075} } %% Jiang, Linshan @article{fds370128, Author = {Jiang, L}, Title = {Sexuality and Trauma: Zhang Yixuan’s The Love that is Temporary and A Farewell Letter}, Pages = {125-125}, Booktitle = {Taiwan Literature in the 21st Century A Critical Reader}, Publisher = {Springer}, Editor = {Wu, C-R and Fan, M-J}, Year = {2023}, Month = {March}, ISBN = {9789811983795}, Abstract = {In this chapter, I will conduct a comparative reading of Zhang Yixuan’s (張亦絢) The Love that is Temporary and A Farewell Letter and discuss the female protagonists’ traumatic memories caused by domestic violence and intimate partner violence. The two novels are written in the fashion of “traumatic realism,” a term proposed by Michael Rothberg (2000) in an attempt to “produce the traumatic event as an object of knowledge and to program and thus transform its readers so that they are forced to acknowledge their relationship to posttraumatic culture” (p. 103). As both protagonists are writers and the stories are narrated in the first-person perspective, they represent the traumatic realism “under the sign of trauma” through “self-reflexive metanarrative techniques” (Chen, 2020, p. 46). I argue that the self-reflections of the two female protagonists point to the issues of sex and sexuality, as a possible leeway in processing their traumatic memories.}, Key = {fds370128} } @article{fds370129, Author = {Jiang, L}, Title = {Queer Vocals and Stardom on Chinese TV: Case Studies of Wu Tsing-Fong and Zhou Shen}, Pages = {145-160}, Booktitle = {Queer TV China Televisual and Fannish Imaginaries of Gender, Sexuality, and Chineseness}, Publisher = {Hong Kong University Press}, Editor = {Zhao, JJ}, Year = {2023}, Month = {February}, ISBN = {9789888805617}, Abstract = {This chapter examines the life experiences and TV performances of two pop singers, Taiwanese Wu Tsing-Fong (吴青峰; born in 1982) and mainland Chinese Zhou Shen (周深; born in 1992), as well as how people react to their images on Chinese TV. Wu and Zhou are special in the Sinophone entertainment industry because they both possess “androgynous” voices as male singers. At first glance, their appearances and personalities echo the popular soft masculinity—a hybrid form of Chinese Confucian wen (文) masculinity, Japanese bishōnen (美少年; rendered as “beautiful youth”) masculinity, and global metrosexual masculinity—that scholars have identified in recent studies of stardom in East Asia (Jung 2010, 39; Louie 2014, 24; Louie 2015, 122; Song 2010, 410; Song and Hird 2013, 1; see also Chapters 3 and 6 in this volume). While the so-called “soft masculinity” may in itself be considered “effeminate,” the voices of Wu and Zhou intensify this social stigma based on gender norms and are often denounced as unacceptable—indeed, queer. Their vocal queerness not only drew verbal abuse during the singers’ teenage years, but also generated media sensation and public attention following each of their performing debuts. I use vocal queerness in these two cases to denote both a form of gender nonnormativity and a signifier of homosexuality for some audiences (although neither singer has declared himself as such). Wu and Zhou continue to be targets of verbal abuse at present, despite their popularity. Nevertheless, I argue that their vocal queerness not only destabilizes the univocal male masculinity rooted in mainstream Chinese society, but also adds to the diverse representations of Chinese-speaking male gender personas in today’s music, TV, and celebrity industries.}, Key = {fds370129} } %% Lee, Jung-Min Mina @article{fds364992, Author = {Lee, J-MM}, Title = {Hegemonic Mimicry: Korean Popular Culture of the Twenty-First Century.
